Xbox Ultimate Game Sale (Begins July 7th)
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
Overall, I think this is kind of a weak sale. I can see myself buying some 360 games in hopes they become backwards compatible, but that is pretty much it. Most of the big discounted games (diablo and borderlands) I already have on PS4 and I swore to never double dip once I got my Xbox.

Went for Terraria, although £6 is the price it should really be permanently.
May go for State of Decay and Slender. Thoughts on both?

I just checked and it was £23.99 back in January - further back than I thought. It did come with all DLC though, thus the higher price.

Pretty disappointing sale for me, even on 360 there is nothing I'm after. Guess I was expecting more.
Oh well, can keep my money for other stuff!

State of Decay is a nice little time waster if you care for clunky control and stabbing zombies in the head.
No experience with Slender.

Thinking about getting the KI full pack even though I own the disc version of Season 1. I think that is as cheap as it's going to get for the full version for a long time.

Ah ya apologies for assuming. Still a pretty good price though at $40 for people only looking for it for PC.
Now like you said, let's see when it actually comes out on Win10

Looking over the uk prices now this is far from being ultimate.

Fuck sake, I bought Lego Batman 3 last week for more than that off Amazon. I might try out Watch_Dogs and Geo Wars 3

Very nice! PvZ is available now on 360 for free (Gears 3 will be free on July 16), and AC Black Flag on Xbox One, with indie title So Many Me available on the 16th
Also Massive Challice is still free on XB1 until the 16th I think.
I did. It is okay for very short bursts (if you like runners), but not much else. The music constantly repeats in every stage and I felt bored playing more than 15 minutes at a time. I unlocked a good number of the cosmetic items and the weapons, but didn't feel like it added anything significant.
On a side note, when the fuck is Microsoft going to put prices on list pages? I HATE looking through the Xbox store and having to click through to the product page to see prices.

I've never played a Far Cry game so I picked up FC4. I've heard great things about open world mayhem.
I had never played one until FC4 and I ended up really enjoying it. It is a fun game.
or knack hopefully
Can anyone confirm the tearing has been fixed on this game now? Tempted at this price but screen tearing gets on my tits.

Turn on Vsync and theirs hardly any tearing.

I'll probably get Fable Trilogy so I can play Fable II on the X1 BC. As far as I know it never came to PC.
The game is really good for cheap. I got it in the last sale it was available, and really enjoyed it.
It has hints of Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell in the "missions". Many of them are small open world areas that are big playgrounds you can approach however you want.
Fun little romp.
Cheers, thats a purchase from me.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
So it won't let me buy Batman from the Xbox One Store, so I tried to do it online but it won't load the UK page, only showing up in $? Anyway around this?

I bought it a good six months ago, and I can't say I've noticed any tearing. It's a fantastic game, and well worth the money.

How is Legend of Korra? I know nothing about this franchise but heard this was developed by Platinum.

I must say, I'm pretty disappointed by the discounts.
Look at the bottom of the page, if it says united states in the left hand side click on it and the pick united kingdom

What's the XB1 version of FC4 like? Thinking of picking it up, 28 euro is a decent price.

Yep. It's pretty much the most pain in the ass way possible.

I got it during a Steam sale and I enjoyed myself for what I paid for it. I wouldn't spend more than $5.

Probably not going to get much due to my backlog. Dying Light is tempting. Did get Mass Effect to try it out.
Ran fine for me. I really enjoyed it.

AC China was pretty fun and Temple of Osiris was awesome ! I might be biased though been as TR is my faivourite franchise but it is a great co-op/ solo puzzle game. The puzzle difficulty also changes depending on how many players you play with.

I'm currently playing through it and it looks amazing and runs incredibly well. Only time I saw any framerate dips was during the Shangi-La stuff. I say go for it. It's a wonderful game.
Shangri-La missions are worth it =)
